Hmm. It is not a good practice to pass passwords through the command line.

I agree, but my usage is not via command line. Its actually used internal to
the application and used to improve security. This functionality supports a
workaround since there was pushback of the feature proposed in KAFKA-2629. I
generate the password, and pass it via a call to kafka.Kafka.main(args:
Array[String]).

> When starting Kafka with an override parameter via "--override
> my.parameter=myvalue".
> If a value contains an '=' character it fails and exits with "Invalid command
> line properties:.."
> Often passwords contain an '=' character so its important to support that
> value.
